Comment 1 Roope Kuisma (reporter) 2009-02-02 16:12:54 UTC

Tested on n810 with latest Diablo.
Installer version 1.9.5-mer4.

When i select external card for Mer and ext3 as a format, installer interrupts
itself immediately after displaying "writing bootmenu item...".
No error output.
Happens only when selected external card for Mer.
If i skip partition formatting part (No bootmenu-item) installer doesn't crash.

Should be fixed in 2.0.0-mer7 - happened only with external item.
